Infrastructure, Construction & Building Products

A new blueprint for the strongest of futures

Infrastructure, Construction & Building Products

Downturns, lockdowns, trade wars, and, for some, a dawning era of massive infrastructure investment add up to a moment of extraordinary change and opportunity for the construction and building products industry. Soaring construction costs have stressed both commercial and residential subsectors, and their related supply chains. Yesterday’s playbook is out, and adaptability is in.

For decades we’ve helped industry leaders develop the strategies and capabilities that fuel innovation and growth. In more than 1,700 engagements, and in every type of market environment, our infrastructure and construction industry consultants have helped companies in materials, services, wholesale, distribution, and other segments achieve extraordinary results.

As sustainability becomes imperative, we’re helping our clients reinvent the way they operate, invest, and plan ahead. Whether you’re a manufacturer and distributor of building and construction materials seeking to understand usage trends and market penetration, or an engineering and procurement company specializing in highway and street construction, our skilled teams will help your company achieve unprecedented impact.

Our global network of experts can help you accelerate digital innovation, transform cost structures, reinvent your manufacturing capabilities, and bring more resilience to your supply chains and procurement programs. The industry’s most successful companies have turned to us for commercial due diligence on many of the past decade’s biggest projects, and we are also the acknowledged leader in post-merger integration. Our clients are leaders in the use of sustainable building materials, like green steel.

As world populations rapidly alter how and where they work, travel, and live, profound changes are coming to the sector. Only the boldest, most disciplined, and innovative companies will prosper. We’ll ensure that you’re among them.
